"Our time together has made us friends, don't let our time apart make us strangers"

I remembered this quote the other day and it made me think about..how often does this quote actually reflect the friendships we have...or the amount of time we have to talk and catch up with certain people? For some, when you see someone again( lets say friend), it seems like no time has passed and so easy to catch up with one another, while it's difficult or harder for others to catch up.. I dont know..there just seems to be a distance this term between people, whether they are close or further away..and it's just differnt and sad that convos consist of hi how are you..and not much more..sometimes.
